Complaint Review: Fortune Learning Systems - Las Vegas Nevada

I am a 67 year old woman who was looking for a way to work from home on my computer to off-set social security income.  I replied to an advertisement for "at home" jobs entering data-based information.  I was contacted by an individual called Jordan who stated he was a Senior Business Executive and my husband and I were totally swept away by his smooth talking manor.  He new exactly what to say using key words such as residual income, investing money to make money, using other people's money (credit card companies), one-time short term investment on a two (2) month payback and we fell for it totally.  We invested $8,620.00 and at this point very motivated. For this $8,000. plus they would set up the business for me, teach me to build miltiple websites and provide the necessary training and coaching. 

On June 2, we were contacted by someone by the name of Dave and invested an additional $1,550. in an affiliate named WholesaleMatch.com which I have never heard from in any way. 

I was assigned a coach and set up 45 min coaching lessons beginning June 6.  At first I was confused as to the manner in which I was going to seek my business.  I also had very limited computer skills (I was told that would be no problem).The coach suggested we begin with ebay and gave me some assignments which I did. I quickly discovered that method was not for me.  I sold items on ebay at her instructions and gained little if any knowledge of the system.  I began to complain to my coach and after about three (3) sessions she stated she would need someone else to contact me.  I waited a full week and finally had a contact from "resolutions department".  This individual was not interested in listening to me and told me I was not listening to them.  It became very clear that I had paid $10,000. to be insulted and spoken to in a very condensending manner.  I spoke of a refund and was quickly informed that I had three days from the date of signing the contract to reject the contract.  Well!!  For three days from the date of the contract all I received were calls of motivation and  talking of becoming rich!! Who would think to cancel a contract when people like that are talking to you!!!! Getting back to the "resolutions department" individual -- he finally began to talk business to me and I stated that I thought affiliate selling was they way I wanted to go so he had the same coach call me who is supposed to be the "expert" in affiliate selling.  This was on July 7th.  She gave me an assignment to do which I immediately sat out to do after our session - to sign up with Amazon.com.  We spoke of my going on vacation July 22 to Aug. 2.  She said she would call me on July 2l to check if I had been able to complete my assignment so that we could get to work as soon as I got back and set up the next coaching session for Wed, Aug 4.

After our session of July 7th I began immediately to register with Amazon.com.  I did fine with the general information.  Then I got into the technical part that I had no idea how to complete.  I immediately sent her an email and followed up with voice-mails.  I had no response.  As the week progressed, I sent another email and voice-mail.  On the day that she had said she was going to "call and check on me" July 21 (one week after my first email) I received an email telling me what to do. I responded and told her I would try very hard to complete the assignment by Aug. 4.  I returned home on Monday, Aug 2 and worked for two days to get ready for our session on Aug. 4.  Aug 4 came and I had no phone call, session or email.  I emailed her that day and stated I had thought we had a planned session.  It is now August 10 and I have had no contact.

In closing --  the "resolution department" more or less told me to "shut up and do what they said".  I asked for a refund and was laughed at.  I was "brow beaten" and felt I had no other choice.  THEN-- I googled fortune learning system and low and behold what did I discover!!!!  There are over 40 complaints reported on FLS and 117 on Ivy Capital.  If these people think they can speak to individuals like a "dog" and STEAL our money by misleading us - they have another think coming.  I intend to contact the Attorney General of Texas, Southern Nevada BBB and Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce to BEGIN with until a refund is offered.
